Convert Kilograys per hour to Microsieverts per hour

Convert Kilograys per hour (kGy/h) to Microsieverts per hour (µSv/h) instantly and accurately.

Kilograys per hour (kGy/h)
Microsieverts per hour (µSv/h)

Conversion Formula

µSv/h = kGy/h × 1000000000

About Kilograys per hour

The kilogray per hour (kGy/h) equals 1e3 Gy/h ≈ 0.278 Gy/s. Industrial radiation processing standard: food irradiation conveyors using ⁶⁰Co or electron beam deliver 1-20 kGy/h; medical device sterilisation tunnels are calibrated in kGy/h; IAEA guidelines for industrial irradiation facilities specify throughput in kGy/h. 1 kGy/h = 1e3 Gy/h.

About Microsieverts per hour

The microsievert per hour (µSv/h) equals 1e-6 Sv/h = 1e-6 Gy/h for photon radiation (wR = 1). The universal display unit of personal electronic dosimeters and ambient dose-equivalent rate monitors: typical outdoor background 0.08-0.3 µSv/h; IAEA precautionary action level is 100 µSv/h; occupational continuous limit ≈2.3 µSv/h. 1 µSv/h = 1 µGy/h for photons.
